Hey everyone! Yeah not much to say…uhhhhhhhh…yeah… ok, on with the chapter!
Chapter 12: Finals
Molly's POV
I couldn't believe my eyes…
Chase was kissing Jessica…
Why would he do this?
Does he hate me?
Does he think I wouldn't mind?
The tears started to pour from my eyes as I watched on.
He must've seen me because he pulled away.
He looked hurt.
I didn't care…
I ran from his house in a hurry.
When I got back to my house, I threw myself on my bed.
Finn tried to ask what was wrong, but I just cried even harder.
The finals were tomorrow but I couldn't sing with Chase…
I was too hurt and confused and…heartbroken to do it.
Sure, we'll be disqualified but who cares…
I know I sure don't.
I really needed to talk to someone…
Not Finn…he would worry too much…
Not Darien…He's a jerk and would probably laugh…
Maybe I should…take it to the source of the pain…
Chase…
Darien's POV (At the evil lair in Port Huron)
"You did quite well." I said to my robot creation.
"Thank you master." Said Jessica, my robot.
"There's no possible way they can reconcile now! Molly, will come crawling to me!" I said, throwing in an evil laugh at the end.
"Yeah…" Jessica said. "You have a postcard from your father."
My father was away on business…and when I say business, I mean he went to Universal Orlando to check out the new Harry Potter attraction.
On the postcard was a picture of him, his Hello Kitty plush, and a cutout of Daniel Radcliffe.
My father has serious problems…
Dear Son,
How's the mission coming along? Is she dying to be with you yet? Haha, dying, haha get it, because of the plan? Ah, never mind…anyways, I'm having fun in Orlando! I should be back by Your next band concert. Until then Arebadirchi my dear son!
Love, Pops.
Well at least he cares…I guess.
"Why am I doing this?" Jessica suddenly said.
"Pardon?" I said turning around curiously.
"Why am I trying to hurt Molly? Why did I kiss Chase? Why am I trying to pose as this Jessie girl who died years ago? Why did I kidnap that Luke boy? WHY DID I DO ANY OF THIS?" She screamed.
"Because I told you to. Now stop doubting yourself, you're doing great. Just keep doing what I programmed you to do and finish the job!" I said.
"LET ME OUT OF THIS STUPID CAGE!" Our prisoner Luke yelled.
"Shut up! You can get out of there when you're brainwashed and this step of the plan is done! Until then, eat this carrot!" I said chucking the carrot at the cage.
"ZOMG A CARROT!" Luke yelled and started to devour the carrot.
"Haven't you already tried to brainwash him like 6 times already?" Jessica said.
"Yes, but unfortunately, he has no brain, so he can't be brainwashed." I said looking at Luke devour the carrot happily.
There was a quick moment of silence.
"Yeah, you're right." Jessica said.
Yet another moment of silence.
"So are we on good terms now?" I said.
"Eh." She mumbled.
"What does, 'Eh' mean?" I said.
"Just, eh." She said, and she began to walk toward her room.
"No seriously what does it mean?" I said following her to her room.
My response was getting the door slammed in my face.
"Robot Women…" I mumbled and went off to my own quarters for the night.
Molly's POV
"Finn, I'll be back in a minute!" I yelled, running out the front door.
"But…wait!" He called.
I didn't listen; I just kept running to Chase's house.
On the way, I ran into something hard, but it wasn't a tree…
"Chase…" I mumbled. All confidence I had a minute ago, vanished.
"Molly…"Chase said.
"So…" I said. "Where are you headed?" I asked, a bit louder then before.
"Where are you headed?" He asked.
"I asked you first." I said.
We both gave a weak laugh.
"To your house…" He said very quietly.
"Oh…what a coincidence…I was headed to yours…" I said.
"OH MOLLY!" He said getting to the ground. He started to cry.
"I'M SO SORRY!" He cried again. "I DIDN'T KNOW IT WOULD HURT YOU!"
"Shhh…it's ok…lets talk about it at your house." I said, helping him up.
He nodded, tears still coming from his eyes.
"Shhh…" I kept cooing, calming him down.
Once we got to his house, he started to tell me everything that happened.
"Well…so she kissed me. I refused to kiss back…it didn't feel right…I was about to pull away, then I saw you and…I felt terrible…I tried to run after you but Jessica pulled me back in the house…I told her I couldn't kiss her and that I didn't love her…" Chase said.
"I told her to leave and to never come see me again…" He concluded. "I'm so sorry…" he said.
"You didn't have to do that…you risked your friendship with your old girlfriend for someone you just met Last year…" I said.
"She wasn't my real girlfriend…it turns out…she was a poser that Darien hired to break us apart…it wasn't just that, there was something else that had originally broken us apart though…" He said trailing off.
"The…kiss…"I said, understanding it now!
Chase had tripped and when I had turned, our lips collided! (Me: -_-)
"Yeah…it was an accident…"He said rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh, I know! It's fine! It was awkward for me too! I'm glad to know it was just an accident!" I said cheerfully.
How could I have been so stupid?
"Yeah…sooooo…" He said. "Do you…still want to sing?"
"Uhh…are we ready?" I asked.
"We could be. We need to work tonight." He said, taking my hand and leading me to the piano.
His touch was so warm…man I wish that kiss was for real! (Me: Again -_-)
"Alright…" I said, letting him pull me.
The next day at the competition!
"Thank you Luna and Gill! That was a wonderful version of Madonna's 4 Minutes!" Ryan Seacrest said as the audience applauded for Gill and Luna.
They did amazingly!
"Next up is a team of cousins, Darien and Jessica!" Ryan yelled.
"No Darien, I'm not going to sing with you!" Jessica yelled.
"Why?" Darien yelled back.
"Because! I've already done so much! Goodbye Darien! I'm not going to be under control of you anymore!" Jessica said, running off.
As she ran past us, she gave us a "Good Luck!"
We thanked her and turned our attention back to Darien.
He was madly stomping about and pushed past us without any mind.
"I'm sorry folks, but due to difficulties, Darien and Jessica will not be performing tonight. So next up is…"
"Chase…I can't do this! I need to back out!" I said.
"It's fine! All it is, is nervousness!" He said.
He pulled me into an embrace.
I hugged him back, expecting him to kiss me again.
He didn't though…
But he held me tighter.
That was good enough.
"Chase and Molly!" Ryan said and he stepped aside so we could come onstage.
"This is it…" He breathed.
He leaned in to kiss my forehead…but pulled back thinking about the consequences…
We stepped out into the bright spotlights and the clapping died down.
The music started.
It was "Lucky" By Jason Mraz featuring Colbie Caillat. It was a great song and…well…kind of matching the feelings I have for Chase…
I don't deny that I have small feelings for Chase…
Ok, maybe big feelings but still…it wasn't love…
Or…was it?
C: Do you hear me talking to you across the water, across the deep blue. Ocean under the open sky, oh my oh baby I'm tryin.
M: Boy I hear you in my dreams feel your whisper across the sea keep you with me in my heart you make it easier when life gets hard
B: Lucky I'm in love with my best friend lucky to have been where I have been lucky to be comin home again Ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh ooh.
B: They don't know how long it takes waiting like a love like this everytime we say goodbye I wish we had one more kiss I'll wait for you I promise you I'll wait.
B: Lucky I'm in love with my best friend lucky to have been where I have been lucky to be comin home again. Lucky were in love in everyway lucky to have stayed where we have stayed, lucky to be coming home some day.
C: So I'm sailin threw the sea to an island where we'll meet you'll hear the music fill the air I'll put a flower through your hair.
M: Low the breezes through the trees I'm oh so pretty your all I see. as the world keeps spinnin round you hold me right here right now.
B: Lucky I'm in love with my bestfreind lucky to have been where I have been lucky to be comin home again. Lucky were in love in everyway lucky to have stayed where we have stayed lucky to be comin home some day. Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oooohhh.
The audience exploded into applause.
I felt amazing!
I looked to Chase and we gave each other huge smiles.
We walked off stage laughing and waving.
Kathy stood up in the audience, (she had to forfeit because Luke is still gone) and started whistling, soon lots of people followed.
I was blushing a lot. So was Chase.
Once we got off stage, we gave each other a huge hug.
"See Molly…We did it…" Chase said.
"Chase are you…crying?" I asked.
"Just a tad." He said laughing.
Was everything good between us now? Would it stay this way? Or would he break my heart again?
"That was great wasn't it folks?" Ryan yelled into the microphone.
The audience screamed in agreement.
"We'll be back in just a few minutes to give you the results of this year's, Harvest Idol!"
"Well, now's the judging..." I said.
"You know, I don't care if we win…I just want to know that we're ok! And also…here…" Chase said, pulling a ruby red rose from his pocket.
I gazed at the rose for a few seconds and then took it with a smile.
Roses were my favorite, especially red roses.
He really knew me.
He blushed a bit and I did too, it was an adorable moment.
"Also…I've been meaning to ask you…why were you so concerned about me kissing Jessica?" Chase asked.
"Oh…ummm…no reason, I just didn't want you to you know, be manipulated. But you were. Because you didn't listen to me." I said.
"Yeah…right…you were so jealous!" He said.
"I was not jealous!" I said loudly.
"Alright fine…you weren't."
"Thank you." I said turning around.
"Or were you?" He added in.
"BLA!" I exclaimed.
He just chuckled.
"It's now time for judging, all contestants please make their way to the stage!" Ryan said over the loudspeaker.
"We will now announce the third place winner…In third place is…Maya and Owen singing 'Don't go Breakin' my Heart!" Ryan announced.
The audience cheered.
Maya ran up to hug Owen and he just pushed her aside. He looked incredibly annoyed.
Once they claimed their trophy, Ryan began to say, "Now…is the moment you've all been waiting for…first, we'll say who the top two were…The top two groups are…Gill and Luna who sang "4 Minutes" and…Chase and Molly who sang "Lucky"!"
Me and Chase were overjoyed!
"Let's give it up one more time for everyone that competed!" Ryan said clapping.
"Alright now…the winner of 2010 Harvest Idol is…"
There was a long dramatic pause.
"GILL AND LUNA!" Ryan shouted.
Chase and I clapped so hard for them, they really deserved it!
I gave Gill and Luna hugs while Chase gave Luna a friendly hug and was about to hug Gill, but they decided to just shake hands or else it would look awkward.
Chase and I got our trophies and stood onstage hugging Gill and Luna.
Though they weren't dating, they sang the song with a lot of passion you would expect from a couple.
They were good friends, but apparently Luna had her eyes on Bo, and Gill was held back by some unknown force from the other side…
After we were all done there, we went to go celebrate with the gang.
While we were eating, the door of the bar flew open.
Standing in the door way was…
"LUKE!" Kathy exclaimed and ran to him.
"KATHY!" Luke said opening his arms for a hug.
Luke looked pretty banged up. Scars, bruises, ripped clothes. But he looked happy to be back.
"Luke what happened?" Gill asked from the table.
"I…I don't remember…" Luke said.
"Figures." Gill said, sitting down.
We laughed and sat back down.
It had been a great day today…now I just need to prepare myself for the festival in a few days.
We were playing there after all!
Well folks! That was pretty long but yay! It's done! Uhh, yeah just wanted to mention, that "Unknown force" That was holding Gill back, is really AG, I mean you did say yourself Gill was yours! Lol, well g'night everybody!
